Strongly Agree

I am in favor of construction of a wall and other necessary infrastructure on our border that gives complete control over entering and exiting the United States.

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

The Federal Government has no constitutional authority to provide for or pay for any abortion. I can't think of a circumstance where an innocent person's life can be taken.

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

sinful nature of humans.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Jesus Christ was God in the flesh. You must be born again to receive eternal life with God. I believe that Jesus Christ lived in the flesh, died and was resurrected. We as Christ followers must love God with all our heart, minds, souls and strength as well as love our neighbor as ourselves. But, we are also instructed to love even our enemies. We are called to shine our light into the darkness and as we are going to make disciples of all nations.

Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?

Very Conservative

Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.

I was blessed by God to start a faith-based non-profit organization named the Transformation Network. Our name came from Romans 12:2. We go into the marketplace and earn our money by providing training and workforce solutions to manufacturers. The money we earn goes toward providing opportunities to men and women with felonies and living on welfare to escape poverty and troubled backgrounds to honor God with their lives and the fruit of their labor.

Additional comment from candidate:

We must restore a God-fearing constitutional congress before we can correct any of the wrongs carried out by many years of a congress only supportive of self and their political parties. We must stop the irresponsible and reckless money management or mismanagement of congress.
